why have I never encountered the word 'cryptid' until 2024, specifically in meme form, multiple times? Odd thing. tf are the kids up to these days

[–] Beardsley@lemmy.world 35 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Funny enough, the term was coined in the 80's

I guess I've been getting all the goblincore posts, not enough cryptid action. I need to switch it up!

All of the best creatures are on the block chain.

You didn’t watch enough trashy Discovery Channel shows from the 00s onward?
